Podcasts about dropout prevention

Send us a textIn this episode of the Crisis in Education podcast, Dr. Paulie sits down with Dr. Skip Wilhoit to dive into a critical yet often overlooked aspect of educational success—measuring and incorporating school climate into the overall school grade. Together, they explore why a supportive, positive climate is essential for both students and educators, the ways in which it impacts academic outcomes, and how school climate metrics can—and should—be integrated into accountability systems. With a blend of candid insights and data-driven discussion, Dr. Paulie and Dr. Wilhoit make the case for why shifting the focus beyond academic scores and towards climate measurement can transform schools into healthier, more effective learning environments. This episode is a must-listen for educators, policymakers, and anyone passionate about meaningful change in education.

Bullying has become a national issue. But what do you do if the school bully is your child's teacher? Bullying is starting to get national attention and be taken more seriously than in days past. While the mean girls, the taunters, tormentors, the physical abusers, and the excluders are very real threats, so too are educators who abuse their power over the very kids they are supposed to protect. When teachers verbally and even physically abuse kids, the abuse is often blatant and rarely called, "bullying". Reinforcing the false notion that only kids, not the grown-ups in charge are bullies.   Is this a product of nonexistent school reform? Does the system have the proper resources to control this problem?  Leading authority on educational policy, Clete Bulach uses his book - Creating a Culture for High Performing Schools: A Comprehensive Approach to School Reform and Dropout Prevention - to discuss the issue of school bullying and what can be done to get it under control.

How and why do schools and communities succeed when they focus on supporting students? Creating personalized learning environments where students are supported by qualified, caring adults is crucial to keeping kids from checking out and dropping out. Research and common sense reaffirm that not only educators, but communities must invest in supporting students to stay in school because we all pay the price when students drop out.
